Your list of tasks to do in Internet marketing is already so long; you have to manage your tasks. You must contol of the always growing list of tasks.

There is a connection between the ideas that you can come up with for the articles in your syndication efforts and the effectiveness of your article marketing. Anything that you can do to improve in this area will increase the overall well-being of your company. After all, your job is to look for efficiencies anywhere you can find them.

Therefore, I thought I would share some good sources for article ideas.

- Keep a list of the questions you are asked by email or phone about your business, your product (or service). Certainly those should be added to your FAQ, but many of the are also great ideas for marketing articles.

- Watch for news stories in magazines, TV, Internet or newspapers that are directly or indirectly related to your niche. If the news organization thought there was a story in that, chance are there is also an article that you can write about it.

- Look for questions pertaining to your niche that are asked in online forums. If someone cares enough to ask a question on a forum, chances are that others are asking the same or a similar question. Consequently, it is a good article topic.

- Go to your favorite article directories, such as GoArticles. Again, search keywords. Read some of the articles authored by others. Is there a way you can put your own unique spin on that topic?

- Take a fresh look at articles that are on your own website. Can those topics be repurposed with more of an informational and less of a marketing perspective?

Coming up with topic ideas tends to have a cascading effect. When you come up with one, that seems to bring up other, related subjects. Write all of them down. In other words, generate a big enough list that your brainstorming efforts result in enough topics to last you a while.
